What pisses me off about JB is that they could've brought back Nike Air years ago to appease the masses. The white cement 3 just dropped 2 years ago. So what if it's Jordans birthday...they should've been had Nike Air on the back of the III's.

Yeah but what should piss you off was that you couldn't see this coming yourself. Everyone kept thinking the Nike Air would be held back for another decade or something. It makes perfect sense to drop stuff without them and then revisit them in a couple years. It's a grab for sure, but the same thing is happening with the one's. Some are "limited" with Nike Air and the ones without have GR's. Wait and see, the white/black/red will come back in 2 years with Nike Air too. Just wait, 2014 is the 23rd anniversary of the VI's too, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop Nike Air on some of those as well. It just makes sense when you're pushing so many retros to market. Grab the money but then release a more desirable, exclusive NA version too. Appealing to hypebeasts and collectors both.

THIS, makes no sense all of the 3s dropped 2 years ago and to brand the nike air on them now makes absolutely no sense to me at all. UGH i hope this stays a rumor..

Please don't give Jb ideas. A release like this for us old heads will be great and if they do it right with a few numbers, good price and nice release schedule im all for it. Better late than never but please no online only release.

I'm sorry,but I don't believe in marketing ploys to help win me over as a consumer. For 13 years the Air Jordan 3 had Nike Air on the back, and then all of a sudden the decision was made to completely remove the branding. Consumers have bought countless old school Jordan classics without the Nike Air branding just because of the love for the shoes....I just find it ridiculous to have a product out 2 years ago and then re-release the same shoe, probably to the same consumer base who bought the previous drop because prior to it re-releasing..it hadn't been out since 2003. From a business perspective, it's a great move..we all get excited when something returns from the past we haven't had in awhile. For most of us, or it seems..some of us, it's not a thrill when you consider it's a limited tease....and the Nike Air branding should've never been taken off years ago in the first place.
